First came Whataburger condiments in stores, and the public rejoiced. Then, Whataburger fans became restless. Which of the popular Texas chain's delicious menu items would be next to enter American kitchens?

We bet the public didn't think it would be pancakes. But surprise! It's pancakes.

The signature Whataburger pancake mix, which follows the very same recipe that is sold in restaurants, is now available from the company's website, Whataburger.com. Spokesman Brian Dolezal said the chain does not currently have plans to sell the pancake mix at retail stores.

Just add water, and suddenly your very own empty plate is transformed into a towering stack of 32 fluffy pancakes, all for about $7.50. (Although you have to buy two packs of mix for $14.99.)

The company also recommends that you add a handy three-pack of Whataburger condiments (Fancy Ketchup, Spicy Ketchup and Original Mustard), for $24.99. We think this would make for some weird-tasting pancakes, but OK. Who are we to question the Whataburger fan?

Oh, and your pancakes and fancy condiments ship for free.

"Whataburger pancakes are really popular with our customers, and now they can enjoy stacks of our hearty pancakes at home, anytime," said Senior Vice President of Whataburger Retail Dino Del Nano.

"In just a few clicks, customers can have Whataburger pancake mix delivered to their door for a perfect start to a wonderful family gathering. And with the holidays right around the corner, it makes for a great gift idea for a Whataburger fan who lives outside the 10 states we currently serve."

Of course it makes a great holiday gift, because Whataburger is closed on Christmas morning.
